Walter Cronkite was Ill

Legendary news anchorman Walter Cronkite has died. I saw this today somewhere on the internet and I typed in his name on Google. One of the first things I saw said Walter Cronkite was ill. They did not mean the good kind of ill, but I do. Walter Cronkite was ridiculously ill. Some may be surprised at how influential Walter Cronkite was to me. When I was in junior high we used to watch these ancient filmstrips in history or social studies or whatever it was called at the time called “You Are There”. I am talking about the kinds of filmstrips that would occasionally melt right before your eyes. Walter Cronkite was the star of this series and they were the coolest things that we got to watch in that class. Our teacher would put them on and go have a smoke break. Anyway, in honor of Walter Cronkite I am going to bring back “You Are There” somehow. There is a good possibility I will be playing the role that Walter Cronkite played in “You Are There: Mongol Empire.” Walter Cronkite definitely goes in Nacho Donut Heroes. You Are There, Walter.
